Black Lyrics

As the walls are closing inAnd the colors fade to blackAnd my eyes are falling fast and deep into meAnd I follow the tracks that lead me downAnd I never follow what's rightAnd they wonder sometimes when they see all theSadness and pain the truth begins to light

[CHORUS]

'Cause I can't see no reasonWhat is blind cannot see'Cause I want what is pleasin'All I take should be freeWhat I rob from the innocent onesWhat I'd steal from the womb

If I cried me a river of all my confessionsWould I drown in my shallow regretAs the walls are closing inAnd the colors fade to blackAnd the night is falling fast and deep into the seaAnd in the darkness all that I can seeThe frightened and the weakAre forced to cling to mistakes they know nothing ofAt mercy are the meek
